Mo'unga called into All Blacks squad for Bledisloe Cup rubber

New Zealand have called up fly-half Richie Mo'unga into their squad for the Bledisloe Cup clash with Australia.

The All Blacks face the Wallabies at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday, New Zealand having already won the trophy courtesy of their victories in Sydney and Dunedin in August.

And Crusaders fly-half Mo'unga could feature having been brought in as cover due to the head knock sustained by Beauden Barrett in the Rugby Championship finale with South Africa and Nehe Milner-Skudder's season-ending shoulder injury.

Lock Patrick Tuipulotu stays with the squad in place of Luke Romano, whose wife recently gave birth. Matt Todd remains with the squad but Brodie Retallick will not travel due to personal reasons.
